No Drop Nuts

There are 2 versions of this mod, 1 from Zruncho and the other from a user named Zen3D. Both of them have their uses. I prefer to use the Zen3D kind just for the fact that the screw can go all the way through the printed part. Zrunchos do have a much nicer fitment into the extrusions but they also dont allow the screw to go all the way through. NOTE: the Zruncho nuts will not fit anywhere that has a tab to index to the extrusion - this includes the A/B drives, all idlers, and skirts. If you want to print only one type of nut, use the Zen3d nuts.

Thank you

Questions

How big is the MM Skirt PCB?

It measures 42.8 × 28.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MM Skirt use?

11 parts, built around the WS2812B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the MM Skirt KiCad files?

From the PrintersForAnts/Micron repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Mods/pnewb/Skirt_LED_PCB/KiCad/MM Skirt.kicad_pcb and its schematic Mods/pnewb/Skirt_LED_PCB/KiCad/MM Skirt.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MM Skirt design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
